''About Napp. History''
Consulted on August 4, 2007. The objective claimed by the NAPP is "to foster professionalism in the patent practitioner community and to aid patent agents and patent attorneys in staying current in matters relating to practice before the
USPTO".
The NAPP is reported to have called the outsourcing of prior art searches at the USPTO "another hidden tax on innovation."
The NAPP and IPO have filed objections to proposed rules relating to appeals.
